From the most mature plots in the vineyards of the company, the “Salco” (2 ha/5 acres) and the “Laghetto” (3,5 ha/8 acres), Salco is produced
thanks to a clone of Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile that at each vintage reaches with ease a slight over ripeness. After maturing 2 years in
wood, it is refined up to 4 years in our cellar.

Lived through a wine like Salco, all vintages are a whirlwind of emotions and the 2010 is not far behind. Started with a difficult spring and blossoming, the season has had a fairly
regular progress, free of those now typical excessive light intensities. A cloudy and cool September, however, has called into question the possibility to obtain fully ripe fruits. Only
by betting to wait a few great days until the end of September we gave an incredible verse of thickness to this vintage and this Salco.
